I still hope that after Zahn's new novel Hand Of Judgement comes out July 19,2011 that Zahn will do a Skywalker family adventure hardcover novel with Luke,Mara and Ben pre-LOTF. Zahn said in an interview on LiveJournal a while back that if given the choice he still would like to a novel with Luke,Mara and Ben set just before Mara's death so he could write the Skywalker family properly.

I think it would be awesome if a Skywalker family novel by 'Zahn took place in the Unknown Regions or Wild Space or in one of the satellite galaxies outside the GFFA perhaps similar to Marvel Comics issue #38 where a young Luke and Leia travel outside the galaxy.

Maybe it could be a duology where the first is a Luke,Mara and Ben book set just before LOTF and the second is a Post-FOTJ hardcover where Luke and an adult Ben return to the UR to face a clone of Thrawn and a new galactic threat.

Maybe this will happen in 2012 or 2013.

I don't think I'd want this. First off, when it comes to Zahn and Star Wars, I've always liked Thrawn, so if I get to choose what his next book should be, I'd want something with Thrawn.

As for a Luke-Mara-Ben book, I don't think it's really needed. Luke and Ben seem to be okay now, and as cool as Mara was, I don't think I want to see a family adventure book. Personally I'd rather see a Ben and Mara book, as I think that would have much more positive aspects going for it._________________

I wouldn't mind this, but as has been said before, Ben and Luke are tense at this point and it might be awkward._________________

If not a Skywalker family novel. I think Zahn should do a Post-FOTJ novel with the Big Three and Ben,Jaina and Allana set in the Unknown Regions with a new Chiss character or a new Chiss antagonist.

I'm all for a new Chiss character. I think it's a shame that the only real Chiss character we ever gotten was Thrawn and beyond that a few meaningless characters who happened to be Chiss. I mean Jag might have been raised by Chiss, but that doesn't make him a Chiss. So yeah, a new Chiss character would be cool._________________

Do You think Zahn should do a Post-FOTJ novel with the Big Three after Hand of Judgement instead?

I'm surprised he's still making books, honestly. He's been here since the very beginning. _________________

Maybe after LotF he wants to retake control of HIS expanded universe..._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

Does anybody want Zahn to do a Post-FOTJ novel with the Big 3 and co. or to reboot the EU like do Episodes VII,VIII and IX in hardcover novel form? Or maybe do a second Outbound Flight novel set in the Legacy era with the Big 3 and co. on board en route to another major sprial galaxy with a much faster hyperdrive.

I'm all for that!

Why not, if he wants to and editors want to give it to him. But I would like to see them finding out whether the older, post OF Formbi is a Thrawn clone or not?

I thought that Allegiance was an ok novel, but I don't really get the big idea behind it and HoJ, Allegiance was like a unambitious nostalgic trip to our heroes' past with few clone-like Stormtroopers in a desperate need of a character transplants added for some reason.

You know they could really go off on their own and have Zahn do a novel with a Thrawn clone fighting off Cronal out in the Unknown Regions. Get the Prophets or Rhand involved, throw in a Chiss Fleet with Thrawn at the helm. And to really change things up...NO JEDI.

Nobody said you had to have lightsabers to have a war amongst the stars._________________

Good idea Darth Skuldren but I think It would be awesome if the Big 3 and co and the Millennium Falcon even Rogue Squadron got involved in such a battle.

I can't imagine a good Thrawn novel in the UR or such an awesome space battle without my favorite heroes:Luke,Han and Leia beause they are among the true icons/heroes of SW.

Millennium Falcon(Han and Leia with Luke at the gun well) and Rogue Squadron(Wedge Antilles) with Thrawn clone and his fleet vs. Cronal's Fleet in the Unknown Regions.

I smell 1# New York Times Bestseller!

A Star Wars book about an Ewok's voyage to Ota Gunga would be a New York Times bestseller. _________________
